## What it's good for

## Access

- **Runs on looot's key** for 6 endpoints: nothing to set up, the run spends your looot balance. You can connect your own key instead; see [Bring your own key](/guides/bring-your-own-key).

## Price basis

6 per call (from $0.005). A call that fails at the provider costs $0; see [What's free](/money/free-and-failures).

## Free first in fallback

No. Every endpoint bills on each answer, found or not, so a fallback walk pays for a miss here. See [Free first](/concepts/free-first).

## Run it

A job run takes shared input names, not Brave Search's own field names; looot maps them for each provider. For `job:news.search`, `domain` is taken by 3 of its 6 providers, `url` is taken by 2 of its 6 providers. See [Job inputs](/concepts/job-inputs).

Example input for `looot run` or the MCP [`run`](/mcp-tools/run) tool, with placeholder values:

<CodeGroup>

```bash CLI
looot run job:news.search --input '{"domain":"example.com","url":"https://example.com"}'
```

```json MCP
{
  "endpointId": "job:news.search",
  "input": {
    "domain": "example.com",
    "url": "https://example.com"
  },
  "idempotencyKey": "<new unique key>"
}
```

</CodeGroup>

A job run picks among all the job's providers. To run Brave Search itself, name one of its endpoints (MCP [`search`](/mcp-tools/search) with `{"filters": {"provider": "brave-search"}}` lists them), for example `brave-search-res-news-search`: `looot inspect brave-search-res-news-search` prints its exact input fields and price.
